Announcing the AVISynth port of Gunnar Thalin's Smooth Deinterlacer. When operating in YUV mode, it is considerably faster than the VirtualDub version.

http://home.bip.net/gunnart/video/AVSPorts/SmoothDeinterlacer/

Features:
  • Fast, area-based deinterlacing
  • Programmable edge detection to help eliminate false deinterlacing
  • Programmable static interframe detection to help eliminate false deinterlacing
  • Color coded mode to show deinterlacing during parameter tweeking
  • Log file to track interlaced frames (programmable percentage threshold)
  • Works in RGB or YUV color spaces
  • Works with interlaced frames or successive field input
  • Can provide output at the input frame rate (like Gunnar's Area-Based Deinterlace plugin for VirtualDub) or double the frame rate (like the Smooth Deinterlace plugin for VirtualDub)
  • All parameters are optional
See SmoothDeinterlacer.txt for details.
